Questions AS TO " hat Had Been Done
Concerning the Burning OF Dwellings
in Ireland ana the Treatment of Ten
antry-A Terrible Uproar EDsues.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.
Theodore Frye, Liberal member for Dar-
lington, asked the government in the House
of Commons today what they had done to
prevent the burning of dwellings from which
tenants had been evicted at Gienbergh Ire
land, and also whether Gen. Sir Redvers
Butler had tried to obtain any concessions in
rent for tenantry in Ireland.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chief secretary
for Ireland, replied that Gen. Butler had not
intertered until some 20 evictions had been
executed, when he tried to influence mort
cages towards greater leniency. The gov
ernment, Sir Michael said. had no legal
right TO go further than this. There is"
continued the chief secretary, lone real
remedy, and that is to remove these POOR
people from the poverty stricken district
cries of Shame shame and "Nol"
"No."] with their own free will" contin-
ued the speaker cries of Nor "No!"
"Never," :" "Shame!"l ''to some other place
in Ireland
Great and prolonged uproar here ensued
until at length the Speaker notified the mem
oers that cries like shame would be rigorous
ly suppressed.
Sir Michael then explained that he was
merely referring to the advisablity of re-
moving the poorest classes to other parts of
Ireland where they could secure comfort
and prosperity.
The subject was then dropped and debate
on the address in reply to the speech from
the Queen was resumed.
